JC Guest House Buenos Aires

... as we guessed, be used as storage or stabling. El Zanjon de Granados is double fronted, creating a huge hall the whole length of the house on the other side of the passageway and courtyards. This is now hired out for functions, and very grand they must be too!<br><br>That evening, Tony nearly put our place into the need for renovation. There are very few sockets in the house and when he plugged the extension lead into the new double adaptor we had bought, he dropped the ...

It was on the aeroplane on the journey into Buenos Aires when Duncan first had the idea. Whilst savouring the thought of a fat Argentinian steak with a glass of fruity Cabernet <br>Sauvignon, Duncan was debating new and exciting ways of annoying his acquaintances back in the UK who so far had been patiently following the epic honeymoon of the happy Coleshill <br>couple around the world via Facebook, email and of course the ...

... English mobile I think! I went for a wander round and got down to the Plaza de Mayo, where the President or Mayor (one or the other) has her offices. It´s a grand square, surrounded by big buildings, a lot of banks and a cathedral. In the afternoon, I went on a city tour. The tour guide spoke good English and I felt I was getting proper translation this time round. We drove out to Recoleta, a fairly wealthy and nice area of the city. We were shown the giant University Law ...

... that goes into the falls. Not all the way under them, but it goes close enough to get you very wet and to feel some of the pressure that exsists in the them. It was so much fun! We had a blast! We have now moved on and are in Buenos Aires, but of course our bus had to break down before we could get there. We had only been on it for about 15 minutes. Then of course we had to change buses at like 11:30 at night, but they gave us really nice ...

... San Telmo. Tussen de prachtige gebouwen door, hadden zich honderden marktkooplieden zich op de pitoreske straatstenen neergevleid met een uitgebreid assortiment van vooral dingen die je niet eens op je eigen zolder wilt verstoppen, maar her en der waren er ook hele mooie dingen bij. Jammer alleen dat je zo weinig mee kunt nemen. Wel hebben we een hele mooie ring voor Lisenka gekocht. Grappig dat in die enorme massa van stalletjes (ik denk dat de markt toch gauw ...

... is a steakhouse for dinner. Found a great cosy little one and had the meal for two which was two big sirloins, salad and fries. Came out on a sizzling plate and you just dish up yourself. Beautiful! Couldn't finish all the steak.... Nice glass of Argentinian wine and Justin had the litre bottle of local brew. Both of us completely stuffed! Look for us at the airport when we come home, we will be the ...

... then party all night it seems. Doesn´t fit at all with my habit of rising early and going to bed early! Totally screwed with my body clock. I was glad for the late breakfast that day though, because after my crazy last day in Lima, no sleep and an early flight to BA, I was exhausted and needed the sleep in. Not that I got that much though since other people in the dorm were of the party-all-night species. But I got some. Anyway, after the late breakfast, I decided to join ...

... Aires that sets up new Movistar sim card accounts . They tested our phone and we are all set. If you go, be sure to bring a copy of your passport. The Movistar address is Corrientes 665, near Florida Street. We are now back at the Art Suites. Whew! With our working cell phone, we call Eternautas and tell them that we will take the 2 PM city tour tomorrow. We are text messaged back shortly with our confirmation and the name of our guide. It is ...

So I woke up around 10am and really just hung around the hostel till it was time to leave. I made sure that I had the time right by checking the times displayed on the computers at the front desk and those other travelers were using. The boat left at 1pm so that gave me ample time for breakfast and packing. Fortunately it only took me about a half hour to pack all my stuff and I spent the rest of the morning saying goodbye to my new ...

... It was then when the actual San Telmo Market was built. <br><br>San Telmo&#8217;s traditional features would change once again during the 1970s, when the area was declared cultural patrimony of the city and historical quarter. It was in 1970 when the now traditional Sunday Antique Fair that takes place in Plaza Dorrego began. The fair kicked off right away and the neighborhood&#8217;s feel towards its current artistic and ...
